Maan Farms Blueberry 2017
Fraser Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBlueberries are such a familiar summer specialty in BC, and this fruit wine interestingly has heightened aromas of ripe blueberries (of course!), combined with mulled spices and a captivating herbal complexity. The palate is tangy, tart and nicely bracing, featuring blue, purple and black fruit. The back label declares the wine to be dry, and it teeters between sweetly ripe fruit and zingy acidity, and is so cleansing, that the finish does indeed appear dry. Culinary uses are obvious: in marinades, salad dressings and sauces, but also splashed with soda for a delicious spritzer, or pair a glass with highly seasoned food like bbq chicken wings, or spicy chili. Maan Farms is an Abbotsford institution, run by an exuberant, industrious family who have wisely engaged respected consuntant Laurent Lafuente to work with Gaurav Maan on the fruit wines.Tasted: 31 August 2019Tasted by: DJ KearneyPrices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
